Playcity Plaza Andares

Located in the Mexican state of Jalisco is the city of Zapopan. The city’s name origin comes from the Nahuatl ‘tzapoti’ meaning roughly under and among the sapote trees. If you’re keen on religious sites, the city is home to the Virgin of Zapopan (an image of the Virgin Mary) said to be responsible for having created miracles. If you’re interested in the more mundane, check out the Museo de Arte, the Rotunda de los Hombres or the Plaza de la Liberacion. Although art can be argued to be its own miracle. When you’ve had your fill checking out the various attractions, head to the casino for some R and R.
